In an interview with Catholic magazine America, Vice President Joe Biden said he personally agrees with the Catholic teachings that life begins at
conception and that abortion is always wrong, but he isn’t willing to legislate based on that belief.

“I’m prepared to accept that at the moment of conception there’s human life and being,” Biden said. “But I’m not prepared to say that to
other God-fearing, non-God-fearing people that have a different view.”

“There’s even been disagreement in our church, not that— abortion is always wrong,” he said. “But there’s been debate, and so there’s
for me a point where the church makes a judgment— as we Catholics call de fide doctrine— said, ‘This is what our doctrine is.’”

I think it's a brilliant move on his part. He is the incumbent and no one believes he would attempt any sort of legislative walk back on abortion.

This way he can appear to be unthreatening to pro life Democrats while suffering no losses from the base or even the fringes as it is clear that there
is no transgression substantial enough to cause their allegiance to wane.

He has the right to believe anything he wants, if he believes that life begins at conception...I have no problem with that

Joe Biden is pretending that its a religious belief when the science has been crystal clear on this one for a long, long time.
A new human being comes into existence and is alive at the moment of conception.

There is no debate to be had on when life begins, the debate lies in when and if its okay to end that life.

How is it that we trust the government with trade deals,look the other way on illegal wars,spying,an endless droning policy,GMOs,and on and on and yet
we can't pass a bill that would allow a woman to have an abortion up to 5 months(!) because that would be a "slippery slope".Bullsh!t.

Hey here's a thought...

How about we stop doing all those things instead of using them to justify killing babies.
